The world is watching YVR2
Dear Unifor members at YVR2,
Following the historic union victory on February 13 that forced Amazon to pay your fall 2025 wage increase, the union has been flooded with messages of support from Amazon workers and labour organizations from around the world.
You deserve good pay and benefits, full union rights on the job, and safety at work. We stand in solidarity with you because when you win, Amazon workers worldwide will benefit. Stand united and strong, and let us know how we can help!
-Jonathan @ Amazon DWA2 (Washington)
Keep the fight up. You are paving the way for all of us around the globe. Solidarity forever
-Ray @ Amazon KSBD (California)
Around the world, your fellow Amazon workers are watching our negotiations closely and are in our corner. They appreciate the pressure you are facing from anti-union managers and want you to know that you are not alone in the fight for fairness in the workplace.
Your fight is our fight. You are not alone. From the CGT Union Section at RMU1, we want to show you our full support and solidarity.
-Alfonso @ Amazon RMU1 (Spain)
As you can see, there are unions at Amazon facilities in other countries, proving that closure is not the only outcome of a successful union drive like yours. Amazon HQ may not like it, but all over the world they are forced to work with unions when workers stay strong and united.
We have received a video message from the Amazon India Workers’ Union. Check it out:
There is significant momentum with the Labour Board ruling about your wage increase and the international attention for your victory. I hope to have a bargaining table update soon, so please make sure you are staying in touch and reading emails from the union.
In solidarity,
Mario Santos
Unifor National Representative
